After Action Report
In Boston, the Magic handled the Celtics 127-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
